we should consider ourselves lucky that we have so many options and I wouldn’t be offended whoever they gave it to. but to me, Grimes is the front runner. I can’t see why age would be an impediment. There is nothing that says you can’t have a skipper for 2 years then change again.

Thought Jack dropped a clue today in the presser as to who the skipper might be when he said it was likely to come from someone who was in the mature bracket who might be able to do the job for 4-5 years.

“It’s a great strength and a great position to be in that we have got three or four options from the demographic of player that we want to select from. We’re very fortunate to be in that position.”

Dunno but that leads me to believe it will come from Lynch, Vlastuin or Nankervis rather than older players.

Just saw the presser. Best part he mentioned is that it doesn't really matter who the captain is, as most of our players are leaders anyway.

I don't have Nank in the running as the official Captain. Still have Lynch as my favorite, his previous experience as a Captain would make it easier for him to take on the role again without much FUD that a new Captain is sure to feel.

Voted for Martin but said he if he doesn’t want it, Vlastuin.

Now thinking that Grimes will get it. Happy with that.

Spot on, Tony Free, I heard that too.
Scoop Browne is in such a rush to get his ground breaking stories out his mouth is faster than his brain.
I was laughing my head off saying slow down you flog.
At the end of it he almost sighed to himself, great I can breathe again.
Ricky Ponting is the same.
Speaks at a million miles an hour also, although he ain't shovellin' poop like the Browne dog. :))

It's not that he speaks fast it's more that his brain is slooooowww. Old mate Scoop gibbers like he's just indulged in about 40 uppers n washed em down with a couple of bottles of cold duck, twitchin n burblin all over the place.

Waiting for all the shitkicker clubs to sort out their myriad of dual & triple captains......
Veteran, senior, expanded and emerging leadership groups.........
Potential first to fourth year playing list influencers.... and
Finally the appointment of leading hand rookie and pre season supplemental head prefect....

When that's all done we'll just announce 3 blokes running our show.

PREnders have unanimously decided Grimesy & Floss will be joint captains according to this poll. Do it RFC. :cupgold

#stopthesteal.

30% unanimity is literally so fake.

Elon Musk rigged the poll and he's an alien subterranean kid collector. FACT

Dustin Martin is my Captain

No news on when they will announce that Captaincy? I hope Caesar's holiday doesn't mean they need to delay the announcement by a couple of weeks.
